The average temp at the south pole is - 54°f. The average temp on the equator is 92°f. How much warmer is the average temp on the equator than at the south pole?

The answer to this question would just be the distance between - 54 and 92. The easiest way to solve this would be with absolute value. If you have questions about what that means let me know.

|-54|+92=t

54+92=t

146=t

The average temp in the equator is 146 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the average temperature in the south pole

because 1 number is negative and 1 is positive, add the 2 numbers together to find the difference

54 + 92 = 146

so the equator is 146 degrees warmer
